Of Consoles and Fanboys

[Xbowhyena]

Just making a thread to say something I have noticed about fanboys these days. Alright, so many PS3 fanboys are always saying things like, 360 controller sucks, RROD is so stupid, Halo 3 SUCKS compared to Killzone 2, and so on, and then 360 fanboys always complain that PSN sucks, the PS3 has no good games, we all know these arguments. The thing I find interesting (and funny) is that I've never heard any of these bad things from people I know IRL who own these consoles. It makes me wonder, PS3 fanboys must have a terrible time with the 360s RROD, and these 360 fanboys must have it awful dealing with the fact that the PS3 has no good games.... Wait what?

Who else has noticed this?

Note: I think both consoles are fun, though I own neither. I don't agree with pretty much any of the fanboy biased points in my thread.

Flaaaaaaame baiiiiiit.

I'm confused about the discussion here, whats going on?

EDIT: Oh, my friends IRL use the same arguments as you stated...

 

[GodsOneMistake]

Both are idiots, just some have a slightly more valid point than others... Well they did two years ago not so much anymore.

And one more thing, can you please direct me to whoever said the 360 controller sucks, so I can stab them in the eye.

Preaching to the choir, man.

I dont follow, damn

wait....oh i see, thats the same as me actually, maybe it has to do with the anonimisity (sp?)

Did you mean anonymity? I'm sorry, I don't mean to be a spelling nazi D:

OT: It's a simple matter of psychology. When presented with very different choices, most people who completely fall in love with the choice they made will start spouting how good it is. But what about the people who made one of the other choices? They're not going to concede that they made the lesser choice, that'd be bad for the ego. So war ensues.
The End.

I own all the next gen consoles ( 360,PS3,Wii, DSi/DS and PSP ) I love all of them ... some more then others...but I'm a gamer, and as a gamer I know all of them have something to offer me... You can't be a real gamer if you're not open to all of them "fanboyism" is just stupid

should've went with my first thought (damn overthinking) and, i have never seen this in real life, but i guess it is with the anonyminity of the internet

You're right, it is. If someone thinks they're never going to physically meet somebody they're not going to be afraid of saying anything.

unless theyre /b/tards, then be scared and ready for anything

Oh god yeah, those guys will say anything.
Anything...

I guess they find it easier to express themselves, and love of the console that they bought online with random people, rather than with friends who would probably just laugh at you and go along with it.

Me, I find it stupid to argue over such things.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I dunno ive seen some of them actually DO stuff, My mate still wont go down that hall without friends

Haha. I love it

You're hardly a spelling nazi if he was asking about the spelling.

A true gamer takes no side in the console war.He enjoys both the Ps and the Xbox.Sure i don´t have a 360 but i am working on getting one.My sister's ex had a 360 and i enjoyed it as much as my Ps.

Note: I think both consoles are fun, though I own neither. I don't agree with pretty much any of the fanboy biased points in my thread.

Before i start my statement I want to clarify something, I used to own a 360 for 2 years and now I own a PS3 (had it for about 5 months) so i know each sides strengths and weakneses. If it was a scale being 1 a total Xbox fanboy and 10 being a total PS3 fanboy (while 5 being neutral) then I'm probably a 7.

Now with that out of the way i can start. PSN Online doesn't suck, it just doesn't have as much support as Xbox Live. The PS3 has plenty of good games, while many may not be exclusives they still have some, like inFamous, MGS4 (I don't like it but many others do), and Gran Turismo. The PS3 is practicaly an entire entertainmet system, it can play music, movies, go on the internet, and can play Blu-Ray. The PS3 does seem to have slightly better graphics the the 360 but it's only noticable on games that support 1080p.

Now the 360 is good but in my opinion not as good. The console has great online support and has patches that come out about every month. It's online interface is more easily accesible then the PS3's. Plus everyone online has a microphone while the PS3 doesn't have as many. The sad thing is, the 360 has terrable customer support and this comes into play when the gremlins inside get mad and give you the RROD. I had a 360 Elite and I got the RROD twice, so I call customer support to get it fixed for free since it's their problem. But sorry, i've been a loyal customer for over a year so I have to pay $150 to get the damned thing fixed and then I would lose all my memory including all the downloads I paid for which was about $120 worth, that got me pissed. So I sold the thing and all the games and bought a PS3.

Overal I think the PS3 is better but the 360 is right up there with it.

And just to get this out of the way, BOTH HALO 3 AND KILLZONE 2 SUCK, GET USED TO IT!

EDIT: The 360 controller and the PS3 controller are both eaqualy as good. The 360 controllers are a little bit heavier and take slightly longer to connect but that doesn't matter. Personaly (growing up with the PS1 and 2) I like the PS3 controller, many years of experience with it i guess.
